KASU Departmental Cut Off Mark
KASU departmental cut off marks are usually different from the general JAMB cut off marks. The departmental score is the final benchmark used for admission selection.
For several years, Kaduna State University has not officially released departmental merit or catchment cut off marks to the public. If the university releases any updated departmental benchmarks for the 2025/2026 session, this page will be updated accordingly.
Important Information
Candidates who do not meet the required score for their preferred course may consider changing to another programme with a lower cut off mark.
Competitive programmes such as Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Engineering, Computer Science, and Mass Communication usually attract many applicants, so higher scores improve admission chances.
Candidates should also ensure their O’Level results are uploaded on JAMB CAPS and the university portal where required.
